The Homely Girl

Wrongly accused by lawyer Halmi (Pál Jávor ) of breaking up a marriage, pretty heroine Éva (Lili Muráti) gets even by disguising herself as a drab drudge and landing a job as Halmi's secretary. It is her intention to make the lawyer fall in love with her, then to maneuver him into a compromising situation. The plot fails when Éva falls in love with Halmi for real. "A csúnya lány" was more or less remade by Marion Davies as "Ever Since Eve" in 1937. (Hal Erickson, www.allmovie.com)
